Effective Business Communication Counts On Lean Writing Skills
In a business communication world saturated with near-instantaneous electronic messages, I start with the premise that the people you're writing for are too busy to absorb massive clots of verbiage. I'm talking about numbers of words as well as the length of the words themselves. Any thesaurus can give you a multisyllabic replacement for a lean word that hits the spot. Likewise, any bureaucrat or consultant can pile jargon-choked paragraph on top of ponderous paragraph. But to what end? In a way that might not have occurred to you, effective written communication is really about tone. The best advice I ever got about business writing skills can be summed up this way: "Be yourself, warm and personal. You're writing to real people, not an organization." Another take: "Write as if you're conversing with an intelligent friend."

Business Writing Skills, Media Training, Presentation Skills Training (Not PowerPoint) Count On Quality Control
• No matter how clever a writer you may be, failure to edit yourself carefully can harm your business communication and waste your improving writing skills. • The key to media training is building an effective communication bridge to the press. Accomplish that and you're on the way to marketing-oriented business communication that works. • Presentation skills training that succeeds stresses eye-to-eye effective communication and shuns PowerPoint.

Time is precious, and readers need a reason to keep reading—it’s a fact of life these days when information is available almost instantaneously.

Readers want to know why they should bother reading the documents you produce, and they don’t want to wade through dense, unclear prose, which is why writers can make their work more successful by learning the art of brevity.
